THE GOOD WORK PROGRESSING.
Los Angeles Capital and Enterprise In
VISITING in Our Room


visiting in Our Boom.
VIM. Ingram, Jr., Secretary of the Central
California immigration Association received
letter yesterday from E. w. Giddings, the
Associations agent in Los Angeles, which
is self-explanatory, and which shows that
capitalists and spectators in that prosper
GUS section have an eye on the advancing
boom in Central California, and especially
about Sacramento. They propose to trans
fer the scenes of their operations and
money-making to this favored locality,
and, as they already see, one which prom
lses large results to investors in the near
future. After referring to some other mat
tiers, the letter reads as follows:
The account of your big meeting on
Wednesday night is making some talk
here. A Mr.. Bailey called to ask me about
the land between Stockton and Sacramento,
and much other information about that
section, and says one of his friends had
asked him to go up to that section and
take hand in putting the land on the
market, etc. and that the man said he
was one of a syndicate in this section, who
had bought (last weekly one of the biggest
systems of reservoirs and canals in the
Sierra region. He Bailey didn't know
whether it was the Mokelumne and Campo
Seco Canal and Mining Companys water
or the Ell Dorado Canal and Deep Mining
Company, but says his friend told him it
was bought and that they were soon going
up to put things in motion. If they do,
and push it as they have like enterprises in
this section, it will be of untold value to
Sacramento and the surrounding country.
l see in the papers merely illusions to
bringing the water down, ETC., but have
not been able to get anything definite
about it. | wish you would give me any
and all facts concerning it by first return
mail, as the mention of il in
short news paragraph (short as possible)
in this mornings papers here has brought
good many men of means in to see me
about it. The shrewd men here know that
property in Southern California has reached
almost or quite maximum of values, and
they are (many of them unloading) look
out for pastures new where lands are at
normal values, and if this purpose is an as
sured fact, a good many Angels will
plume themselves and wing their way
Sacramentoward. Among others, George
d. Carleton, the practical founder of the
town of Riverside, the man who planted
the first raisins there, and among the first
to plant oranges there, but who, previous
to his coming 10 Southern California, saws
he slept for years rolled up in his blankets
in the Sierra foothills, where he could look
at the stars at night and never took cold, and
that was the best climate he ever knew.
He added that he would go up before long
and select place in that district, which
would be good place to build up town
surrounded by well-tilled, small farms"
1t is evident, therefore, that if the people
of Central and Northern California
intend to invest in time to take
advantage of some of the very
many opportunities now presented to
secure a rise in water and real estate
schemes there is not much time to lose.
Los Angeles spectators have said all
along that it was but question of few
months before we would feel the boom
so notable in Southern California. and,
now they are commencing to show their
faith by works, and are making initial
purchases of important water and real
estate holdings, knowing full well the
rapid advance will soon set in. It's
an excellent time for those who are look
ing for the goddess of fortune to watch the
experienced lead of the Los Angellies,
and "get i'm without much further pro-
